Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess changes in bone volume after the block bone increase and placement of dental implants and further assess the aesthetic outcome. This case highlights the success of implant osseointegration and aesthetic oral rehabilitation 5 months after the maxillary graft with a corticocancellous block obtained from the iliac crest. This article was conducted through a literature review based on international data. This study presents the case of a patient who benefits from this method of treatment, which leads to jaw reconstruction and dental implant placement. The postoperative evolution of the patient was favorable, with the integration collected from grafts of the iliac ridge and dental implant insertion. After the prosthetic loading, the masticatory and aesthetic function of the patient were restored. This jaw reconstruction method has proven effective, with a high degree of reliability and a significant improvement in patient’s quality of life.
